Travel back in time to the slower pace of life in this canal town, with two (2) adult tickets for a guided tour. Tours include:


 


A Living History Tour: The historic buildings offer a glimpse into the daily life of the craftsman and his family, the lessons of the one-room school, the distinctive home and office of the town's doctor, and the fascinating miniature displays of canal construction in the Visitor Center complex. Artisans display the workmanship of daily life in the 1800s as they practice the trades of blacksmithing, broom making, weaving, printing and more. All of this combines to make the tales of history entertaining for all ages.
